The ConnectX Backpack Power Supply from Makita, is a high performance solution for landscaping equipment and construction power tools that supplies consistent, long-lasting power directly to Makita’s range of ConnectX-compatible tools. For more versatility, the ConnectX Backpacks can also supply power to Makita’s LXT and XGT equipment via an adaptor.
ConnectX is commercial output on demand
Makita’s ConnectX accelerates the transition to battery power with a high capacity battery built into its ConnectX Backpacks, to enable all-day work and performance without the hassles of petrol or cords.
The ConnectX Backpack Power Supply is compatible with Makita’s premium line of ConnectX equipment, which includes the recently launched LM001C Lawnmower, the UR201C Linetimmer and UB003C and Blower.
For the ultimate in versatility, the ConnectX Backpack Power Supply can also be used with Makita’s 40VMax XGT and 36V (18V x2) LXT products - when used with an adaptor.
Built-in backpack power
There are two primary ConnectX Backpacks with in-built power that can be used as a portable power source: The PDC1200 features 1,200Wh of battery capacity providing runtimes equivalent to 11x 18V 6.0Ah batteries and the PDC1500 with higher capacity battery delivering 1,500 watt hours of output. Both dramatically extend the run time of Makita’s products for efficient mowing, cutting, trimming, clean-ups and more.
Two ways to connect
There are two ways to connect the ConnectX Backpacks to Makita tools:
Direct connection: The ConnectX Backpack Power Supply attaches directly to ConnectX power equipment. When you pair the ConnectX Backpack Power Supply with ConnectX commercial power equipment, there’s no adaptor needed. For mowing, the battery can be removed from the backpack and attached to the ConnectX lawnmower for up to three hours of continuous mowing. The ConnectX linetrimmer and blower offer direct connection via an on-board cable.
Corded adaptor: ConnectX is not a standalone system. An adaptor can be used for connecting the ConnectX PDC1200 or the PDC1500 Backpack to Makita’s 40VMax XGT and 36V (18V x2) LXT tools and equipment to offer users with more flexibility and power on site. Simply use the adaptor to quickly connect the ConnectX Backpack Power Supply.
Makita has also designed the LXT system’s Portable PDC01Backpack Power Supply for compatibility with its ConnectX products. Simply load two or four 18V LXT batteries into the PDC01 Backpack and connect directly to ConnectX commercial power equipment. Or use an adaptor for use with Makita’s expansive range of LXT 18V and 36V (18V x2) products.
